A 15-year-old cancer patient who dreamed of meeting Elon Musk left behind a handwritten list of questions for the tech billionaire before she died — and days later, he answered every one, honoring her final wish in a moment now touching millions online.
Conservative commentator Glenn Beck took to X on Thursday to share the heartbreaking story of Liv Perrotto, who passed away before she could fulfill her biggest dream of meeting Musk.
Great news!
Joe DiGenova, a former US Attorney under Reagan, will oversee the Spygate probe in Florida after the DOJ removed a Deep State prosecutor who was stonewalling and slow-walking charges against John Brennan.
The Justice Department on Friday removed Maria Medetis, a career federal prosecutor who was slow-walking charges against John Brennan.
Former CIA Director John Brennan is the “target” of the grand jury Russiagate probe in South Florida.
Last July, it was reported that former FBI Director James Comey and John Brennan were under FBI investigation over their involvement in Russiagate.
Seattle, under self-proclaimed socialist Mayor Katie Wilson, is a city in free fall. I've been there a couple of times in recent months, and even before Mayor Wilson took over, things were headed downwards; huge, sprawling homeless enclaves, litter, and graffiti. I remember visiting Seattle in 1986, if memory serves, while taking some Army training at what was then Fort Lewis, and I recall then finding Seattle to be a clean, prosperous, friendly city. No longer. And the new administration is doing everything it can to make it worse. This is well to the left of insane, but it's an insanity that has become all too common to too many

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has achieved a record increase in applications for air traffic controller positions amid a recruitment push that targeted video gamers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in an interview at the Semafor World Economy Summit that the agency’s outreach has been “wildly successful,” noting how gaming skills translate to the demands of air traffic control. “This has been wildly successful, and if you think just what these gamers are doing on screens, they’re talking and there’s a lot of things going on,”
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has come under significant national scrutiny in the past few months after revelations of mass fraud and waste. In Minnesota, the Trump administration is taking action to punish retailers who facilitate and practice the fraud. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins celebrated, “Operation ‘Cold SNAP’ was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!” Agents from her department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) joined Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) on April 16 to go after SNAP/EBT fraudsters at 20 different Twin Cities locations, according to a USDA press release.

shows sharp drop in her and her husband's
net worth replies
The office of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is saying that the figures on a previously filed financial disclosure that showed a net worth of up to $30 million were due to an accounting error and don't reflect her actual financial situation with her husband Tim Mynett.
The original disclosure prompted criticism and calls from some GOP critics for further investigation.
Since then, Omar submitted an amended filing showing much lower assets of about $18,000 and $95,000.
According to her office, the discrepancy was the result of incorrect valuations from financial professionals tied to her husband’s business interests, including a venture capital firm and a winery in California.
Trump administration officials agreed on Monday to allow the “pride” flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City to fly once more.
The change comes after the Trump administration had removed the flag earlier this year, a move which immediately sparked legal challenges from LGBT activist groups.
The Department of the Interior had directed the National Park Service to remove the controversial flag, contending that non-agency flags could not be officially flown, according to a report from CBS News.
But the policy provoked a lawsuit against Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the National Park Service, and other defendants.

A Kansas City woman accused in a 2020 fatal shooting barely had time to make the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list before she was behind bars.
KaShawn Nicola Roper, 50, was added to the bureau’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on April 14 and arrested the next day in Florida. The arrest was made at about 10:30 a.m. local time on April 15, less than 24 hours after the FBI announced a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to her capture.
However, Roper had been a fugitive for nearly six years before the FBI added her to the most wanted list.
Who is Karl Von Batten? A registered lobbyist, he has been posting on X advertising himself as the Chairman of the Development Committee of the D.C. Republican Party, D.C. Delegate to the 2024 Republican National Convention, and former Chairman of the D.C. Republican Party in Ward 3, but he’s been making millions as a FARA advocate pushing for more immigration from fraud-ridden African countries like Somalia and Burundi. As Von Batten uses his GOP role to cozy up with Never Trumpers like Nikki Haley, he profits from from his perceived ties to the party to lobby for Somalia and other African nations trying to undermine Trump’s America First policies.
Nearly 10% of US births in 2023 came from illegal immigrant mothers, according to newly published research.
Pew Research Center revealed that 320,000 of the 3.6 million babies born in the US that year were anchor babies who would not qualify for birthright citizenship if President Trump’s executive order is upheld by the Supreme Court.
“Under the current erroneous birthright citizenship interpretation, these children automatically become citizens and unlock food stamps, welfare, specialized schooling for English education, and eventually college aid,” Brandy Perez Carbaugh of the Heritage Foundation told The Post.
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has pulled $73 million in highway grants from New York after state officials have refused to cancel commercial trucker driving licenses the state has given to illegal migrants.
Duffy sent a letter to Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul warning her that an additional $147 million is also at risk of being terminated if Hochul does not cancel the commercial truckers licenses (CDLs) previously issued to migrants.
“I promised the American people I would hold any state leader accountable for failing to keep them safe from unvetted, unqualified foreign drivers. I’m delivering on that promise today by refusing to fund Governor Hochul’s dangerous, anti-American policies,”
On Saturday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weekend,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said that Iran was “essentially pushed into saying, we’re going to take control of” the Strait of Hormuz “and we’re going to now use economic risk as our substitute for military strength.”
Jayapal said that there is a “massive amount of chaos that everybody across the world is looking at, because, obviously, most of the oil — 20% of the oil flows through that Strait. So, it doesn’t just affect folks at home. And I know, in my home state, gas prices are now at $7. … And so, it is really causing enormous havoc. And prices are
Neither far-left late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel nor Stephen Colbert have mentioned the resignation of disgraced Democrat Eric Swalwell in their monologues this week — despite showing big support for him before the congressman’s scandals drove him out of politics.
The California Democrat not only resigned his seat in the House on Monday, but he also dropped his bid for California Governor after a growing number of women have come forward to allege that he sexually harassed them — or even sexually assaulted them — throughout his political career.
The White House is working with all relevant agencies to investigate unusual circumstances around several American scientists with knowledge of U.S. secrets – some of whom have either died or gone missing – and “identify any potential commonalities that may exist,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt assured on Friday. Earlier this week, a reporter asked Leavitt about ten American scientists – who reportedly had access to classified nuclear or aerospace material – who have either gone missing or died since 2024. At the time, she said she would look into it, and on Friday, she provided an update, confirming the White House is on it,
A few days ago, I wrote about a piece that argued that gun rights are imaginary because one person doesn't make a militia, so the right to keep and bear arms must be a collective right. It was just high-minded sounding enough that the gullible might buy it, but anyone who has actually delved into the topic to any degree--or is just skeptical enough to do a Google search--knows it's BS. Now, it's true that one person doesn't make a militia, but a militia is made up of individuals who bring their own guns to the fight or who somehow acquire guns in the course of acting as a militia.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump jetted to Las Vegas for a roundtable at the AC Hotel Las Vegas Symphony Park to tout his Working Families Tax Cuts and the gains provided to everyday Americans through the One Big Beautiful Law (OBBL). Nevada's Democrat representation, like Senator Jacky Rosen, did their darndest to detract from Trump's tax policy visit and downplay the tax benefits. But Trump and the "No Tax on Tip" policy appear to be highly popular among Las Vegas workers, if the crowd wrapped around the hotel before his appearance was any indication. According to Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese,
The Speaker of Iran's Parliament has declared the opening of the Strait of Hormuz null and void. In a tweet posted on X, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused President Trump of violating the deal opening the Strait of Hormuz and said the Strait is now closed.
What he's referring to is the U.S. Central Command announcement that the blockade is continuing: They are also miffed at USCENTCOM's publication of a list of contraband products and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine's statement on Thursday that U.S. forces will pursue blockade runners out of the USCENTCOM area of operations.

Democrats and the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) have their sights set on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, with the press desperate to discredit him as unfit for office, and Democrats happy for their journo allies to lay the groundwork for an impeachment effort.
As further evidence, we can look to the freakout they had and the juvenile gotcha games that were played after he went off on the media during a Pentagon briefing on Operation Epic Fury on Thursday.
"I sat there in church, and I thought: Our press are just like these Pharisees. Not all of you. Not all of you. But the legacy, Trump-hating press," Hegseth stated.
Donald Trump has a growing Thom Tillis problem. The administration’s actions this week are doing nothing to solve it.
As the president flirts with trying to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and dismisses Tillis as “no longer a senator,” the retiring North Carolina Republican shot back with his own message to the administration Wednesday: “I’m not dead yet.”(snipTillis is blocking Trump’s Fed chair nominee, Kevin Warsh, until the Justice Department drops an investigation into Powell. And the stalemate is leaving him in limbo with no clear off-ramp in sight.
Democrats Abdul El-Sayed and Mallory McMorrow are neck and neck in new polling on the competitive primary for Senate in Michigan, besting Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in the race for a rare open seat. A new Emerson College Polling/WOOD-TV survey found 24 percent of likely primary voters in Michigan each support El-Sayed, the former Wayne County health director backed by progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and McMorrow, a state senator backed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). The tied scores represent an 8-point increase in support for El-Sayed since January and a 2-point bump for McMorrow. The poll’s credibility interval for
Construction of a ballroom and presidential bunker at the White House will continue for now, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia granted an administrative stay of an order earlier this week that blocked most above-ground construction. The next hearing in the case is set for June 5, according to the court's briefing schedule, so construction will likely continue through at least then.
President Trump has signed an executive order to ease research restrictions on psychedelics, including the drug ibogaine, which is used in some countries to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. Health officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and podcaster Joe Rogan joined Mr. Trump in the Oval Office for the signing Saturday. Mr. Trump said the order will "dramatically accelerate access to new medical research and treatments based on psychedelic drugs," which he said have shown "life-changing potential."
He said the federal government was also opening a pathway for ibogaine to be administered to "desperately ill patients" under the Food and Drug Administration's Right To Try rule.
The U.S. government has been losing up to half a trillion taxpayer dollars just to fraud for the past five years, according to a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report.
America’s national debt as of Saturday morning is $39.13 trillion and climbing every second. Democrats have spent decades deliberately encouraging as much reckless spending and fraud as possible, but even most Republicans are content to overlook a vast amount of fraud and overspending if they secure the pet projects they want. Robert Westbrooks, former federal inspector general, gave April 15 testimony to the House Oversight Committee, exposing the gargantuan financial crisis.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is not expected to step down this term and has already hired all four law clerks for the upcoming annual term despite speculation the high court justice was weighing retirement, multiple sources said.
Alito "is not stepping down this term and is in the process of hiring the rest of his clerks for the next term," a source told Fox News Digital. Two other sources told Fox News that Alito is not retiring this term, which lasts until the Supreme Court's new year kicks off in October.
Justices tend to hire their clerks two to three years in advance, although
The Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi agreed on Friday that the Strait would be open, albeit using the Iranian-approved route.
But he immediately got in trouble for what he said, because he didn't address the U.S. blockade in his tweet. As President Donald Trump said, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ships continued. The attacks showed the chaos their leadership is in.
The other main negotiator, Mohammad Ghalibaf, after likely seeing what happened with Araghchi, reneged on the deal and said it would remain closed until the blockade stopped.
So then they decided to punctuate their tirade by firing on ships on Saturday.
The video about the two gay dads and their baby, who keeps saying “maa-maa-maa,” isn’t bad for the reason people say it is—namely, that the baby desperately wants mommy, not daddy—although it’s still bad. However, when it comes to all the moral wrongs of surrogate parenting, there’s actually an even more disturbing video out there.
Two points, before getting to the gay dads and their “maa-maa-maa” baby, one factual and one anecdotal.
The factual point is that “maa-maa-maa” is the first sound almost all babies make. That’s why so many cultures have that sound in their preferred word for what a child calls its mother.

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar blamed an accounting “discrepancy” for errors in a financial disclosure that listed her net worth at up to $30 million – while doubling down that she is not a millionaire, a report said. The lefty “Squad” lawmaker – facing fraud probe calls from President Trump – insisted the initial figures in a disclosure filed last May were completely off-base, as an amended filing now shows shared assets with her husband of up to just $95,000, according to The Wall Street Journal. “The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” her spokesperson, Jacklyn Rogers, told the outlet.

The Seventeenth Amendment was ratified in 1913, during the height of the Progressive Era. Reformers argued that state legislatures had become hopelessly deadlocked and corrupt. Between 1885 and 1912, legislatures deadlocked seventy-one times over Senate selections, leaving at least seventeen seats vacant for entire sessions or longer. States went unrepresented in Washington, while lawmakers wasted months on partisan warfare.
Scandals amplified the outrage. In Montana, copper baron William A. Clark admitted to spending the equivalent of millions in today’s dollars to buy his seat; the Senate refused to seat him. In Illinois, Senator William Lorimer was expelled in 1912 after evidence showed that four state legislators
The Supreme Court handed environmental plaintiffs a unanimous defeat on Friday, ruling that Chevron USA can fight its Louisiana coastal damage lawsuit in federal court rather than the sympathetic state-court venue that produced a nearly three-quarter-billion-dollar verdict against the company.

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion, joined by six colleagues; Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson concurred in the judgment separately.

Rep. Ilhan Omar has dramatically revised financial disclosures that previously showed multimillion-dollar assets, now claiming the figures were the result of an “accounting error.”
The far-left Somali Democrat, who regularly demands that lawmakers raise taxes on the super-rich, had reported assets between $6 million and $30 million in a prior filing.
Yet according to The Wall Street Journal, an amended disclosure now places total assets at just $18,004 to $95,000.
Amidst the ongoing conflict in Iran, a major political event took place in the United States on April 16, 2026, that deserves more attention and scrutiny than the mainstream media will likely devote to it. The event to which I refer to is the victory of Analilia Mejia in the New Jersey special election for congressional district 11.
Mejia’s decisive win in the seat formerly held by New Jersey governor Mikie Sherrill should send political shockwaves because I think it is more than fair to say that she will likely be perhaps the most socialistic member of Congress.
When asked if she would join “The Squad” shortly before the election,
CAIRO — The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz quickly escalated again Saturday as Iran reversed its reopening of the crucial waterway and fired on ships attempting to pass, in retaliation after the United States pressed ahead with its blockade choking off Iranian ports.
Confusion over the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy and push the two countries toward renewed conflict. The ceasefire between them is due to run out by mid-next week, and Pakistani mediators were working to put together a new round of direct negotiations to keep the truce going.

Embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday repeatedly refused to tell The Post why she won’t release her tax returns like other top Democrats in the state did earlier in the week.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul have made income tax returns available for review by reporters, but James is refusing to do so — even as she fights back allegations she falsified information on mortgage applications.
The Empire State’s AG bizarrely claimed that the decision to release her own tax return was up to her staff.
“They will make that determination,” a perturbed James repeatedly told The Post
I do like to follow up and keep you all on top of where things stand with some of the previous stories I've covered. Sometimes, it's true, there's not much to write about because whatever happened happened and then they lie there like a dead bug until they shrivel and go away of their own accord.
In other cases, there can be happier resolutions, which is always cheerful news, but those are admittedly rare.

Financial markets are reacting positively Friday to news that Iran will temporarily open the Strait of Hormuz for commercial traffic during its ceasefire with the United States.
The major U.S. stock indexes, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and NASDAQ, surged. The S&P500 also crossed 7,100 for the first time ever.
At the same time, oil prices quickly dropped about 10% after the Iranian announcement.
Market conditions had already begun to improve on Thursday as President Donald Trump expressed optimism that the war in Iran was nearing its end. Trump said the war “should be ending pretty soon.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) extensive record voting to confirm liberal judicial and executive nominees revered by the Left are weighing on his efforts to win a fifth six-year term in the Senate. The South Carolina Senator is a mainstay on Fox News, where he alternates between cheerleading for President Donald Trump’s agenda while encouraging the President to veer towards neoconservative priorities. But his record confirming nominees who later haunt Trump tells a different story. Graham voted to confirm President Joe Biden nominees Merrick Garland for Attorney General and Lisa Monaco for Deputy Attorney General.
Both were key architects of the lawfare against Trump and his family and allies.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Justice Department asked two Senate committees to provide transcripts and records of contacts with former CIA Director John Brennan regarding the now-discredited Russia collusion allegations, signaling there was an active investigation into whether the former spy boss had misled or obstructed Congress. The letters gave a hard deadline of Feb. 23 for compliance.
Two months later, the body run by Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has not complied, slowing a key angle of a grand jury investigation based in Fort Pierce, Fla., into whether Obama and Biden-era government officials engaged in a conspiracy —

Although the US.–Iran ceasefire is in effect for the moment (depending on who you ask), President Donald Trump signaled that things could change very quickly if the Islamic Republic doesn’t agree to terms — by Wednesday.

President Donald Trump said late Friday he may end the ceasefire with Iran unless a long-term agreement is reached by Wednesday.
"Maybe I won't extend it, but the blockade is going to remain," Trump told reporters on Air Force One. "So you have a blockade, and unfortunately we have to start dropping bombs again."
For decades now, the left in this country has preached that we should feel guilty about America’s success, we should obsess over its flaws, we should downplay our positive contributions to the world, and we should talk softly and carry no stick.
Be ashamed, their message has been. And all too many Americans and virtually everyone in academia and the mainstream media bought it hook, line, and sinker, and have been selling it as hard as their little hearts can manage.

This week, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas celebrated America’s 250th anniversary by exposing the greatest threat to the Declaration of Independence today—the ideology of Progressivism.
“Progressivism was the first mainstream American political movement—with the possible exception of the pro-slavery reactionaries on the eve of the Civil War—to openly oppose the principles of the declaration,” the justice said in a speech at the University of Texas at Austin Wednesday. “Progressives strove to undo the Declaration’s commitment to equality and natural rights, both of which they denied were self-evident.”
Ten House Republicans joined Democrats on Thursday evening to keep roughly 350,000 Haitian nationals in the United States on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) despite the Trump administration seeking to end the quasi-amnesty. The House passed the measure, led by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Laura Gillen (D-NY), after advancing the bill through a discharge petition maneuver, with help from half a dozen Republicans. Essentially, the bill would keep about 350,000 Haitians in the U.S. via TPS just as President Donald Trump fights in the Supreme Court to end the quasi-amnesty.
The 10 House Republicans who joined Democrats to defy the Trump administration and move the bill to the Senate are:
Everything about California Governor Gavin Newsom is fake. Even the numbers on his book sales.
His new book is being touted by his allies as a best seller, but the main reason it’s selling so well is because his own political action committee has spent upwards of $1.5 million buying thousands of copies of it.
That’s one way to get on the New York Times best seller list. It’s not honest, but it’ll probably work.
Not a single thing about this man is genuine. Newsom PAC bought thousands of memoir copies about his hardships, juicing sales
